Recently at the urging of a reader, I watched the above video from the 80s in which Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB agent outlines the use of Russian ideological subversion outlined well in this American Thinker piece. The whole series of fascinating videos that make up the interview can be found beginning here and all seem quite prescient when put in context of contemporary America. Islamists have used the same tactics that the ex-KGB agent outlines in terms of working to demoralize us by inculcating academia and the media with pro-Islamofascist views (and having them propagate this message to the last generation of elites amongst others), and furthering this message with groups like CAIR and useful idiots in the ACLU, while also working to destabilize us with terrorist attacks to drive us towards crisis.

That Islamists have both stealthily and overtly brainwashed Americans into paralysis when it comes to realizing the threat of Islam dovetails well with Bezmenov’s description of ideological subversion. Bezmenov characterizes it as “[An] overt…slow process…[to] change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.”

Given the parallels between the Russian communists and the Islamists, I delved a bit deeper into their ties, and there seems to be definitiveevidence that the KGB schooled Muslims for decades, and that even in modern day Russia, Islamic terrorists including perhaps even AQ#2 Ayman Al-Zawahiri were trained by Russian intelligence. Yasser Arafat is perhaps the very embodiment of this tie, as he was a master of ideological subversion, trained as an agent of the KGB. Litvinenko argued before he was assassinated that Putin and the Russians may have been in on 9/11 himself. It would make sense that Putin would publicly take a “hard line” stance against the Islamic terrorists in his country as a means of misdirection when he in fact is supporting them against the West (hence the cozy ties with Iran amongst others). And of course even if this support wasn’t merely on political and ideological grounds, if nothing else the chaos brought on by terrorists would help the Russians economically by driving up the price of oil.

In my view, Russia and the Marxists generally never ended their war against the West. That Putin, a former KGB bigwig effectively still runs the country is a testament to this. The Marxists were smart — while fiscally they may have collapsed, I believe they falsely surrendered at the end of the Cold War, reorganizing and “reforming” only to the extent that they would look more tame to the Western world. The socialists were never militarily routed, so it is not as if everyone in Russia, Eastern Europe, Asia and the moles and propagandists they planted in other countries was suddenly forced to repudiate communism. The changes in their governmental system and rhetoric are akin to those made by socialist shell organizations that have evolved over time in the US, altering organization and name, and hiding their nefarious agenda behind a visage of moderation.

Thus, I’d like to proffer the ultimate hypothesis that the Marxists are aiding and abetting Islam as part of their strategy to bring the West to its knees. I believe however that they will underestimate the strength of the force they have raised in Islam. While the socialists and Islamists have a common enemy in the West now, I am sure that Muslims would just as soon turn on the Russians, Chinese and others if the West were destroyed. G-d forbid we get to that point.

I grant that proving this point will require a significantly greater amount of research, but I put forth this view because it strikes me at first blush as a major revelation, that I believe may prove essential in understanding the war on America. That the Progressives (socialists) and Islamists have followed the same tactics in my view is not coincidental, and in context of the events of the last handful of decades has much explanatory value. The only difference between the Progressives and Islamists of today is that Islamists serve as both a psychological and military arm of the socialists in their war on civilization.

Wow, I am not even sure how to describe what I saw on O’Reilly tonight. Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer representing terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, nephew of 9/11 mastermind KSM, gave one of the most cowardly, if not evil interviews I have ever seen.

Repeatedly pressed to answer whether or not 3,000 innocent civilians were murdered on 9/11, Fenstermaker repeatedly said that the jury would decide that, and in fact multiple times strangely argued that the number was actually less than 3,000. He even made a snide comment when O’Reilly challenged why he, three times, argued that it was less than 3,000 people, indicating that it mattered to the other 200 people who he presumably was arguing were not killed. How a laywer, who’s law firm is located “in the heart of New York City,” cannot admit that the worst atrocity in the history of our nation was committed on 9/11 is absolutely sickening.

Perhaps even worse, when asked if he would celebrate if his client was allowed to walk free, while first simply defiantly arguing that for political reasons that would not happen, Fenstermaker said that he would celebrate the fact that justice had been served. With a straight face, he admitted his honor in representing the most despicable scum on Earth.

As far as I am concerned, this man is a traitor to his country, and for his complicity in proudly choosing to defend a terrorist that threatens all of the liberties that Fenstermaker takes for granted, deserves a fate similar to that of the terrorist he is representing.
